Re: GPS with VEX

The Vex microcontroller only has 1 serial port that I can see. But the Parallax GPS reciever, from what I can see, works with the board ports and I'd be plugging it into the rx port I assume. I guess my main problem now would be how to code it since EasyC would most likely not work. Not exactly sure what WPLib is but I also do have Carnegie Mellon's RobotC. If you could elaborate more or maybe hit me up on AIM or something that would be great.

I also noticed another good GPS unit thats being used a lot called the eTrex made by Garmin. I'd most likely need a new microcontroller which isn't the biggest problem in the world though I'd like to stay with VEX because I already have all my sensors coded and hooked up the way I want them. But the GPS at this point is more important and I'd be willing to make a change if neccessary.
